 Right after a thunderstorm, rushed to the traffic circle but just missed the last bit of sun painting the tops of the towering thunderheads in the background. The sky was still a deep blue, though, so I took the shot of the clock face and hoped for the best. Decided against cropping out the surrounding features because I like the overall capture better than any one part.

My first submission. I adjusted saturation, mostly for the blues. increased exposure value by just a tad, too.

Hi from the C Club!

I really like this shot, it stands on its own and I can not imagine what it would be like in advance editing, well done.

For this challenge, the circle had to be the main focus of you shot. The rounder-bout is harder to see as the lights are not going around it. The clock is maybe your main focus. IT is hard to tell in this one.

Your focus is spot on, you are sharp are clean in all your lines. Your POV is a little off but we have talked abotu that. Your colours are excellent. Your post processing is excellent.

So as stated, unless we knew this was a circle challenge, we would not know that this shot was about circles.

I look forward to seeing more of your work if this is your first submission.

Pretty good night shot, but the circle is not a major element of the photo.

I think the subject should stand on it's own. It's a nice enough picture, but if I didn't know, or if you didn't say, I would never have guessed the challenge was "circles" 5

Interesting capture, however the clock circle is hardly the main focus. 4

Nice quality image, but I have to search for the circle, 5.

Nice shot and nice building. A higher angle might have shown more of the roundabout.
